In the sketch, Bloomberg's interpreter, portrayed by new castmember Cecily Strong, was as colorful as Callis and mixed some legitimate signing in with a few comedy-inspired signs. But it was New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's interpreter, played by Nasim Pedrad, whose mimed Jersey attitude took place of actual signing that likely drew Matlin's anger.

"Sign is not mime; it is a legit language," Matlin also tweeted. "Deaf people HAVE a sense of humor. Ever see me on Family Guyor Seinfeld? But faking signs that we use isn't the same.... Imagine if a show started making fun of Spanish (using fake Spanish) or Japanese. Do you think they'd actually get away with it? Uh, no... The jokes about sign cold [sic] be funny if done right. Seinfeld, Family Guy, My Name is Earl WERE funny. This stuff is just dumb."
